Beauty | MUR Redemption Palette Iconic 1

Wednesday, May 31, 2017

For our last Collab Girlies Video we did nude eye looks using the Makup Revolution Redeption Iconic 1 palette.

I didn't have this and my friend and fellow Collab Girlie sent me this one, at first I thought she had two of them but no she bought me my very own. I always get a bit overwhelmed when people treat me like that and while it isn't expensive I always feel surprised people are willing to do nice things for me.

The palette is said to be a dupe for Urban Decays Naked 1. I'm not very in to looking for dupes but I have compared it against my naked palette and it is very similar.

I wouldn't say there are any exact matches but for the difference in price it's well worth getting the MUR one.

The Urban Decay Palette comes in at just under £40 and the MUR one is £4. While I prefer the colours and shadows in the UD palette there is very little difference.

I love that there is a good range of colours as well as a mix of mattes and shimmers. The colour pay off on these shadows was a lot stronger than I expected and they were easy to blend.

When I made the video, I wasn't all that sure about this palette but I think I was treating it as if it was the UD palette and not treating it as a stand alone item and I wish I'd had a practice run before filming,

Over all for £4 this is a decent product and I think you would be hard pressed to get better value from such similar colours.

I actually have the Urban Decay palette which has similar colors and indeed, they do look alike. How is the quality of this palette? I love my UD because it stays on for so long and it doesn't run off or smudge.

I Love Revolution cosmetics for two reasons, their choice of colours is great... but even more so, the prices are fantastic, particularly if like me you don't wear a lot of eyeshadow and don't want to spend a fortune on it to have it sit in a drawer. I love these shades so much as they are natural yet neutral. Perfect!
